VU#787952: Android and iOS apps contain multiple vulnerabilities

Many Android mobile devices come with OEM-pre-installed apps. Some apps have been identified as having incorrect access control settings,allowing malicious third-party apps to exploit and bypass system permissions and settings. Additionally,some Android and iOS apps embed a hard-coded cryptographic key or use a weak cryptographic algorithm that allows an attacker to obtain elevated access. Kryptowire has released a paper documenting 38 vulnerabilities in various Android smartphone devices. These vulnerabilities are largely attributed to incorrect user permissions and access control settings via pre OEM pre-installed apps,and may be exploitable via malicious third-party apps installed by the user. Two of the vulnerabilities are exploitable via the Android debug bridge(adb). Kryptowire,in collaboration with DHS S&T and the NCCIC,previously discovered and reported the following vulnerabilities. CWE-295:Improper Certificate Validation The software does not validate,or incorrectly validates,a certificate. When a certificate is invalid or malicious,it might allow an attacker to spoof a trusted entity by using a man-in-the-middle(MITM)attack. The software might connect to a malicious host while believing it is a trusted host,or the software might be deceived into accepting spoofed data that appears to originate from a trusted host. Vulnerable app: (CVE-2017-13105) Virus Cleaner(Hi Security)- Antivirus,Booster,3.7.1.1329 CWE-798:Use of Hard-coded Credentials The software contains hard-coded credentials,such as a password or cryptographic key,which it uses for its own inbound authentication,outbound communication to external components,or encryption of internal data.

Further investigation showed that it was not a security issue. The CVSS score below reflects a worst-case scenario of code execution as a system user,however many devices and vulnerabilities have significantly lower impacts and therefore lower CVSS scores.
